There really isn't anything you can do to prevent any of the complications that might cause one baby to be smaller than the other, but as Cheryl experienced you can take some steps (high protein diet, bedrest if advised, etc.).
My girls were within ounces of each other at birth (4 lbs 14 oz and 5 lbs 1 oz) and still are, 3 1/2 years later. They are very definitely fraternal but amaze me with their similarity in size. Their younger sister is nearly as big as them, so lately strangers have been asking me if they are triplets (doesn't help that the twins dress identically and then the 2yo insists on matching!).
Eat well, rest on your left side whenever you feel worried and try not to dwell on all the supposed "high risk" aspects.
